    Today’s menu was their special holiday menu, but the food was just not great. The water smelled bad, the muffin tasted as though it had been cooked at the same time as a roasted meat entree and the remaining items were blah.

    I gave the hostess my name with reservation, she stated she wrote it down & said it would be a few minutes. I saw a few people go ahead of me & asked her about it. She said she had already seated my party to which I replied, “well all 3 of us are still here!” She admitted she must have written down the wrong name. Another hostess told me we were next & she seated us right away & apologizied. I am glad they worked it out calmly & quickly. I know it was a busy day!

    We came to enjoy a Sunday Brunch and were surprised to find they no longer offered a full bar, only beer and an attempt at hard seltzer mimosas. The hard seltzer is no match for a champagne. I would go again for a true breakfast, but for early afternoon brunch or a dinner, I enjoy a glass of wine… so will go elsewhere.

    Pleasantly surprised this place. Last minute choice driving through Knoxville. It was super busy but the wait was minimal, the staff were excellent, and the food was tasty and came out piping hot. Definitely worth a try.

    Waited over an hour from our reservation time. Mimi's used to be a reasonable place to eat, the food was good and the prices were not bad. Our experience after the wait was dirty menus, sub par food, and terrible service. Would not go back.

    The food and service were fine but the wait was very long. We had reservations and didn’t get seated until 45 minutes after the reservations. Seems like they overbooked.

    All of our meals were mediocre at best. Service was really slow. The muffins are good and that’s probably the best thing about Mimi‘s.

    Our party of 9 on a busy Sunday was seated and served promptly and courteously. Everyone's order was accurate and the food was delicious. Highly recommend Mimi's, Turkey Creek

    I realize it was Christmas Eve but we made a reservation and we got set 25 minutes late, they were out of most of the food items. I got cold coffee. It was hard to get drink refills. Our total experience took over two hours. When the food did come out, it was awful. We were put in a back room with nobody else said it was cold with no music. The icing on the cake was when the server said “I want to kill myself” in front of my Family! Never again.
